2/. On that day, no one knew what Mandela looked like let alone what kind of man he had become
Some activists feared that he might have ’gone soft’
Others - reared on a daily diet of fear & propaganda - feared Mandela would be an angry & vengeful figure

3/. In his first speech a few hours after his release, Mandela was statesman-like & dignified
But it was clear he had not ‘gone soft’
He saluted uMkhonto we Sizwe & said:
“The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue"

Este artículo contiene numerosas falacias sobre la votación en ONU contra el bloqueo y su relación desde con procesos de apertura y reclamos de #derechoshumanos en #Cuba Abro hilo hypermediamagazine.com/sociedad/notas…
Dice @MJ_Busta: "El mundo debería tener un debate más sólido sobre las contribuciones relativas de los factores internos y externos a la profunda crisis actual de Cuba" Asi pretende rebajar el voto en la #ONU después d un debate ejemplar apegado a la ley internacional. (2)
Segun @MJ_Busta lo negativo en "la votación de la ONU" es q "obliga a los Estados y a la opinión pública internacional" a adoptar "términos binarios" sobre "el problema de Cuba". Tanto remar para evitar el punto de partida para cualquier arreglo: el derecho internacional (3)

Sincere attempt of feel good film with a good message. Casting and performance were good. But cliched scenes and weak screenplay in second half were let downs. more like a educational movie. High school students and their parents can watch.

2/- #Tedros from @WHO presented a false #Covid19 and #Flu mortality comparison on 3 March 2020 by conflating Case Fatality Rate CFR of Covid mortality with Infection Fatality Rate IFR of Flu mortality which created worldwide fear and panic. This was deliberate.
3/- #JohnIoannidis @StanfordMed debunked and refuted #Tedros statement saying CFR 3.4% figure causes horror and was meaningless.
He proved this clinically and @WHO had to publish his paper in Oct 2020.
His results #Covid19 IRF 0.23% and 0.05% for those below 70.

On a aimé #Mandela. Par son pouvoir, il a jeté les bases d’un pays qui a tourné le dos à l’apartheid. Et #Gandhi ? Un défenseur de premier rang opposé aux injustices sociales. Des portraits qui font rêver et qui auraient dû suffire à résumer ce pouvoir exercé au nom de tous.

Mais, ces beaux exemples parsèment modestement l’histoire de l’humanité. Nombreux, des cas d’exercice du pouvoir où l’abus et la déception sont si fréquents qu’il est légitime de se demander si le pouvoir n’est-il, in fine, un moyen de renforcer le statut de ses détenteurs?

1/. “As he walked out of prison it was also us who were set free.”
31 years ago, Nelson #Mandela was released after 27 years behind bars.
As Breyten Breytenbach wrote at the time: "Perhaps there is now a little more sense to our dark passage on Earth.” aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/…

It took another 4yrs before #SouthAfrica would go to the polls & vote to end 350yrs of racial domination
But the birth pangs of the Rainbow Nation were tense & blood-soaked
At times civil war was a real fear

"Prashant Bhushan's refusal to apologize puts him in the same league as Gandhi and Mandela" he wrote after Bhushan claimed he won't apologize to the Supreme Court in the Contempt of Court case against him.

Well, being "Left Liberal" @DilliDurAst has all the "freedom of expression" to eulogize people from his fellow Leftist Ecosystem. But since the comparison is with Gandhi and Mandela, it requires a little bit of scratching.

Here's Tybre Faw reading the poem at #JohnLewis's service. I'll link to the text below.
#Mandela had a copy of Invictus in his cell during the decades he was sentenced to hard labor (chipping rocks) by the white minority gov't in South Africa for his leadership in the fight against apartheid. Morgan Freeman reads it, playing Mandela here.
Thanks so much for asking. It's been a deeply moving service, and I'm glad for the chance to share a bit from it.

@ContactIbuka En cadeau de Noël, un magazine français ouvre ses pages à 2 négationnistes du génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda. Avant-dernier thread pour démonter les ressorts de l’article de Judi Rever.
Partie5⃣: #Kagamé maître du monde

Si après tous les efforts de Judi Rever, vous croyez encore que le #génocide des Tutsi a été mis en œuvre par le gouvernement intérimaire hutu power, c’est pour une seule et unique raison : Paul Kagamé vous contrôle, à votre insu… ou pas.
Comment ?
Comment ?

C’est entendu: le monde vénère M.Kagamé tel ces idoles intouchables (MLK-Gandhi-Jésus) consacrées (postmortem) par les élites occidentales.
Rever le dit: "Kagamé est bien vu du monde entier parce qu’il a fait croire qu’une majorité de Hutus a tué les Tutsis."

🇿🇦 #Sudafrica salió campeón en rugby con un capitán negro por primera vez en sus filas. El hecho tiene una fuerza simbólica, de un país con una historia atravesada por el apartheid.
Aprovechamos para contarles como el fútbol fue una forma de superviviencia en esa época.

Hablamos de la Asociación de Fútbol Makana, una asociación deportiva formada por los presos políticos de Robben Island durante la Sudáfrica del Apartheid. Makana se creó en 1966 y realizó ligas de fútbol entre los presos hasta 1973 con el objetivo de superar su encarcelamiento.
@FutboleraAlma @MotivacionesF @FestivalFC @ApuntesdeRabona @ficbol @HistoFut @Joselo743 @FutbolRebelde @FutbolyPizarron @futpicante La prisión Robben Island marcó el #Apartheid en #Sudáfrica. Fue una cárcel de máxima seguridad que albergaba a numerosos presos políticos, entre ellos Nelson #Mandela, y del que fue escenario de violencia y torturas a miles de prisioneros.
My daughter marching with the spirits of Nelson and Winnie #Mandela outside of the Cradle of Humankind Museum in Mogale, South Africa. It is part of the Long March of Freedom installation, the largest outdoor collection of sculptures in the world.
My son got in on the action as well. The installation chronicles over 350 years of South African #anticolonial struggles. It currently depicts over 100 freedom fighters with 400 more in the process of being added. All are in motion. All are marching towards freedom.
The procession is organized chronologically and begins in the back with the 17th century leader of the Khoikhoi people, Autshumato, who was the first person to be incarcerated at Robben Island (where Mandala would later spend 27 years). No one stands behind him.

Dear @tito_mboweni, if you want debate on Nationalisation of Mines, Land and natural resources, please say so. Your tweet is populist and misleading. You know this, why do you do this? In a few tweets, I will back up my bold statement. THREAD BELOW.
1. You know that one of the first pieces of legislation #Mandela signed was nationalisation of mines. You know that the State owns ALL mines in South Africa. Mining companies get prospecting and mining licenses from @DMR_SA. Please explain what conditions DMR has put in place?
2. If @DMR_SA has the power and authority to issue mining licenses, what mechanisms are in place to ensure that there is adequate provision for people who live in mining communities to have meaningful stake and adequate protection from capricious companies, international & local?
1. Je vais faire un mini-#thread pour expliquer un truc sur la Notion de racisé et le passage d’un concept dit scientifique à un concept normatif i.e. instituer un privilège juridique pour compenser une inégalité prétendue, qui serait entretenue par l’Etat. (Racisme d’Etat)
2. Au début, on nous dit que la notion de racisé, a été validée « scientifiquement » par des experts sociologues. [Je rappelle qu’il y avait des économistes experts qui expliquaient scientifiquement la plus grande efficience de la planification sur le Marché]
3. Ensuite, la notion de racisé n’est pas le fait de la société civile mais de l’Etat avec l’existence d’un racisme d’Etat. Là, les juristes demandent quelles sont les normes racistes dans l’ordre juridique français [Comme celles qui existaient au Texas ou Afrique du Sud]
